Cotswolds Camping at Holycombe

What a hidden gem this place is. Stayed in the yurt yurna glamping tent. It actually went beyond my expectations. Clean tidy, has everything you need and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Perfect location for exploring the beautiful area. So peaceful at night, perfect to unwind and just chill. I will definitely recommend and look forward to coming back again soon.

Amazing 2 days in nature Fantastic little spot. Better than I thought and so well done. Thankyou for a great stay. Shame I forgot to bring a towel but that’s my fault for not reading the description so I had to shower at soho farmhouse. Waking up to the sound of the birds was incredible.

Lovely little spot! Very quiet, and with all the amenities one could need (shower, compost toilet, kitchen area with kettle). Bags of logs can be bought for a fiver, and there are fire pits available for free. We stayed for one night and had a beautiful time drinking wine, stoking the fire and looking at the stars.

Spent a night here in my campervan and enjoyed the rustic, back-to-nature vibe. However it is only one step up from an upgraded field. The pitches and paths are mowed but little else, and whilst that may be good for wildlife (I'm all for that), it does give the place a slightly unloved feel. I wouldn't have even known there was a moat if it wasn't for the faded buoyancy aid on a post behind our van. It certainly wasn't easily visible. I didn't see any view, but then we had no welcome from staff so no orientation. We asked other campers where the loos and showers were. These are brilliant, incidentally, and were the highlight of the site! The photos on the website don't bear much resemblance: the communal lounge room is locked and appears to be being used as storage, everything is overgrown, limited signage and no welcome information. That said, communication via email for booking prior to our visit was good. The provision of logs for contained fires was appreciated and I hope the honesty box is filled honestly! It was a chilled 24 hour stay. I might return.

This was the perfect place for the countryside escape we wanted before the busyness of the festive season. We hired the Little Dutch Cabin, which is a converted Wendy house. It didn’t disappoint either. The Friday night we arrived, we were greeted by Swampy, a very friendly, helpful chap who lives on site. He couldn’t do enough for us. He showed us to the lodge and gave us some tips for food nearby and also walks. We were very cosy in the lodge, with a wood burning stove and heater should we need. We had everything we needed, including our own shower/toilet cabin for our sole use - the shower was powerful and so warm. The location of the lodge, and rest of the campsite is in a designated dark zone so, plenty of opportunity to star gaze. It’s also a designated quiet site so, all we heard was the wind in the trees and birdsong, oh and the village church clock chiming. We visited to local pub for dinner, the Norman Knight the food was delicious and the staff are very friendly and it’s only a 7 minute walk away. The following morning we had breakfast in the Straw Kitchen and that was delicious too with a great atmosphere - still walking distance. Swampy told us of a walk through ancient woods and down to Long Compton which was a good 6 miles and full of wonderful scenery. We had a wonderful weekend - we’re glad we took our wellies since it’s very muddy on site but that didn’t deter us. It was a perfect escape for a refresh and reset.

Absolute 10/10 — can’t wait to come back! Thank you Swampy for a great welcome.
